The reasons residential ISPs don't peer is two-fold.

a) They're nearly all Tier-1 networks, and Tier-1 networks have very hard to meet peering requirements; AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have been Tier-1 since forever, and now they're the dominant wireless carriers. AT&T and Verizon are also large residential ISPs, and CenturyLink is another, and they're a Tier-1 too. Comcast is effectively Tier-1 in the US, but they don't have an international network (yet?).

b) residential connections are setup to be unbalanced flows, and peering policies at networks with restrictive policies generally require roughly balanced flows. Very few networks that do business with consumers are going to get balanced flows. Maybe a consumer oriented backup service can, if they mostly receive backups and don't send a lot of restores; 1-1 messaging without persistent server storage should be pretty much balanced, but nearly everything else is pretty much never going to be balanced. Of course, tier-1 networks also won't peer with you if you're a customer or have been a customer recently; so if you do end up with appropriate flows to your transit provider, you'd need to switch to another provider for some amount of time before coming back to ask for peering, and they may increase requirements in the meantime.

Things were different when we had local/regional ISPs (dial-up and DSL line sharing). As those got big enough to justify multiple transit providers, they would gravitate towards peering places, because you can pickup multiple transit providers easily, and also peer to reduce costs for both networks when connecting to other networks at the peering place. A local ISP doesn't really care about traffic balance, they just want traffic off their transit link; and content networks don't care about traffic balance, they just want traffic off their transit link.

If I had my way, we'd get mandatory line sharing for the last mile (and something for wireless?), so that we could have meaningful competition in IP networking at the local level again. Something where all the last mile infrastructure providers are prohibited from offering retail service would be best; they could keep their tier-1 ISP business, and their last mile business, but someone else would have to at least glue the two parts together.
Who pays to have their ads displayed by a chumbox? Probably smaller players but I can't imagine a reputable company to post ads in that toxic environment, it really does look bad.

If the court rules that the statements were false, but Giuliani is off his rocker and so Dominion doesn't get their billion, Dominion might still find that an acceptable outcome. They need their reputation at least as much as they need the money; a court ruling that the claims were factually wrong would go a long way toward restoring their reputation.

>Thanks to the computer vision technology built into every one of our displays, we can track metrics previously limited to online advertising. For example, impressions are the standard currency for online advertising, but they aren’t yet the norm in the DOOH industry and when they are provided they’re a rough estimate. Unlike most DOOH displays, Popspots displays only run content when consumers are physically present, which means there’s a direct relation between plays and
impressions. Popspots displays also count the number of consumers present and whether they’re watching the advertisement on a second-by-second basis. Using this data, marketers can understand exactly how many consumers they’ve reached and assess the effectiveness of their creative.

As someone who doesn't work much with software teams, can someone fill in my gaps for understanding timeline.

I'm imagining after a security issue is identified, the steps taken are roughly in the below order and close-ish for the date. I guess my question is, why does it take 20 months from start to blog post?

-Contain the issue (1wk)
-Remove the threat (1wk)
-Build up remedies (a few months)
-Check and recheck what happened to make sure you're accurate when submitting final reports (a few months)
-Release a blog post (1month)

The timeline is a cool day by day instance, but I just don't understand the larger timeline.
Interesting, if you get paid on another TIN does it effectively become your main SSN? What about at retirement time? Would like to hear more about this.

I'm there now. This video reflects my experience - if you're close enough to your destination cycling is stupid easy when they plow the roads / trails, no fatbikes required. In anything short of -35C I'm probably warmer and more comfortable than people who drive. I walk more frequently than cycle, though, since the single biggest problem I've found with winter cycling is the hazard from fogged glasses in cold weather.

If there is any company in the world that should be burned to the ground for the sake of all humanity, Taboola is definitely one of them. Outbrain is the other. I wish they had actually merged to save us the time of destroying both.

Their product is horrible and without redemption. But let me make it clear that the people that work there are also as horrible - try criticizing them on Twitter and watch the bots and employees attack.

They provide nothing of any value in any way whatsoever. It's pure scam. If they disappeared tomorrow the world would literally become a better place in real, measurable ways.

I've had a PiHole set up for years explicitly to block them. No other service I can imagine is built on such lies, falsehoods, deceit and fraud. They are pure garbage. Hatred doesn't even begin to describe my antipathy towards them.

Taboola employees reading this? You're all trash.

Would you rather have your whole app suspended indefinitely from a random google's bot decision or have a human reviewing your update and possibly rejecting it ? From my last 3 rejections on iOS, they always provided me screenshots and I could discuss with the Apple reviewers.

The new console cycle definitely contributed. I think it more had to do with Ryan Cohen, founder of CHEWY, buying 13% of gamestop shares and joining the board with two other CHEWY executives. The assumption is he will play a large role in GameStop's future and buying GameStop stock is a bet on his ability to pivot GameStop into new revenue generating gaming verticals.

Ah, the 'ole "right to my business model" attitude. Not blaming you in particular for this, but it's pervasive. Needless to say, I thoroughly and utterly disagree than any business has a right to any business model, particularly one that robs me of my time, attention, and computational resources.
My understanding is that during the period (1600 to 1868) leaving the country, even by accident was punishable by death.
better treatment of shipwrecked American sailors was part of the demands of Perry's expedition in the Convention of Kanagawa.

>For the Japanese the punishment for leaving the country (and coming back) was death. The Japanese view at the time was that their world was complete and their was no place in it for crude, materialistic and barbaric Westerners. It was one of the few times in modern history that a nation rejected "progress." Punishments were equally harsh for foreigner that arrived in Japan. Thirteen members of a group of Portuguese merchants that arrived in 1640 were executed. The rest returned home with the message: "Think of us no more."[1]

Personal computers.
I have one and I can confirm it's great. They even provide a Linux image for it (but I stuck my $FAVORITE_DISTRO on it with minimal fuss). The fact that it has an Intel CPU and can run plain Windows is a big plus in my book over the Pyra, but that's just my preference.

Built in ethernet and serial port have proven useful as I'm running around debugging networks.

What I really have been searching for, however, is a clone of the Toshiba Libretto 50CT with a modern CPU and ports. To me that represented the peak of micro computers. The keyboard is small but usable, the mouse is fantastic (you grip the screen, the buttons are on the back of the screen - don't knock it till you try it). I'm lowkey considering making a replacement PCB for it.
Was this really the case for castaways caught in storms, who expected to come back?
Mature businesses tend to have lower margins. Doesn't follow that he businesses would fail, just that the owners extract lower rents from the public.
I'm curious what mechanisms will be in place, and how effective they will be, at preventing dogpiling on people using this system.

As a specific example, as a nonbinary person, I'm constantly running into people online who tell me there are only two genders, or that singular they is some sort of new concept. My concern with a consensus system is that it will be used to shut down people like me (or trans folk, or socialists, etc. etc. etc.)

How do you build a consensus system that protects minority persons and also weeds out misinformation?

Edit: Downvotes for... being non-binary I guess?
Whatever the answer, I'm convinced it will take nearly constant vigilance to prevent it from eventually being corrupted to serve the very evil it was meant to eradicate. This seems to be one of the few constants throughout human history.
The other challenge I is related to hardware. The reason why everyone is talking about the C2s is that pretty much every other machine is crap. The forces pulling on these machines are substantive and concept managed to make a machine that held up over time, unlike the others. So I hope you guys made those things sturdy enough.

Robustness isn't the only reason C2s are considered the best. Unlike all the cheap brands, Concept2 have very accurately measured the moment of inertia of their flywheel and have an exacting manufacturing process that ensures it stays true.

As a result, the power data you see on the screen is an accurate measure of the work you're doing.

Most (not all) machines guesstimate it in comparison. You can just go with HR if you want, but don't pretend you can compare any other figures sensibly with a C2.

Point of note: the "distance" figure on a C2 is based on what a coxless four would have covered under the same power.

Now that I read the sentence again, yes I can see it.

Sadly, I think they meant "not professional drivers". Pre-Uber taxis had an horrible reputation for bad service in a lot of metro areas.

I just assumed that it is productivity oriented, based on the contents, and also based on other such systems that come with stated goals of "organising", "learning", "remembering". I think they are in the majority. Doing something like that for satisfaction would have different emphasis, in my opinion. Like storing articles about rocks, animals, martial arts, crafts of beer, and things of that nature.

How will Twitter prevent the sort of organized brigading and domination of the always-online crowd which plagues such crowdsourced review programs?
Less censorship in the media. All that stuff was there in the 1950s as much as it is now, but you didn't see it anywhere in the media because it was not allowed by fiat of central authorities (from the Hayes office to the boardrooms of various publisher and broadcast networks). Heroin was not introduced in the 21st century and needles are not new but there are far fewer cigarette butts everywhere today. Cities stank of stale cigarettes and urine and car exhaust and if you were anywhere near water, dead fish.

A few photos that do not show the winos or the dog crap on every sidewalk do not prove there wasn't any. It just proves the existence of a few photos. Nobody, for example, picked up someone else's poop off the streets and brought it home in a little bag like they do today, and there were just as many dog owners in Manhattan in the 1950s as there are now. The signs required you to 'curb your dog' which meant leave it in the gutter, but it usually ended up on the sidewalk with all the gum, spit, old newspapers, and pigeon droppings. People went to jail for being homosexual or using birth control. Credit cards and consumer loans were illegal in the US until the 1960s so everything was cash-only and muggings were a real and present threat. Racism was overt, explicit, widespread, and rampant.

I think what you see of the 1950s is selection bias. Times are good now. Better than the 1950s because we stopped hiding stuff and lying to ourselves and have tried to make things better instead.
But the American SSN, while abused, is still supposed to be a secret.

I don't believe the Brazilian CPN is meant to be a secret at all. It's used for literally everything.

In America, you don't give your SSN to your utility company or when signing up for an online subscription. But in Brazil, you use your CPF to do that.

I like Chait. I also don't think any of these people are wrong about the culture war issue you're talking about, and if that had been all you said, we wouldn't be 2000 words deep into this thread. But that's not what you said.

The article you posted is from a health policy "take machine" (check his Twitter, he's like a JV Ezra Klein) who concludes that opposition to the ACA is mostly not racist, and is using the idea as a framing device for a post summarizing a journal article about racial disparities in health care, which are obvious and real. The use of the word "racist" to describe the status quo ante of the ACA is counterproductive and stupid (see: "takes"), but it's also not part of the mainstream conversation.

You suggested otherwise. I suggest you concede the point, because, again: we're being held hostage by stupid things people say. Even smart people will say some stupid things, and we can let whole debates be defined by stupidity.

(We have another big health policy debate coming up, and as a liberal Democrat who opposes single-payer, I'm dreading the amount of stupidity we're all going to have to wade through to get to any kind of engagement with the real issues).

Throwaway because current environment is hostile to nuance, and consequences are disconnected from intent.

On these topics, I am always confused by the variety of positions.

I note that NPR is considered high factuality, left of center bias, so I generally want to trust them.

It's tricky to cut through the difficulty of understanding that we have a set of laws and those laws say a police officer is allowed to shoot someone, race irrespective, under circumstances. And it's a tragedy when someone loses their life, but the hypothesis of allowing police to kill someone is that the individual is suspected to be dangerous to others whom are less suspected (ie innocent).

Then there are takes like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmgxtcbc4iU -- Sam Harris examines the available data and gives compelling argument that race is probably not a real variable in police killing civilians, especially when we start to examine same race police killings...

Once companies become monopolies like Google, Facebook etc, I believe the government should impose regulations like mandatory SLAs for customer support.

Right now, companies like Google can completely ignore customer service because they are a monopoly. And they do this, because it saves them billions of dollars. If they had actual competition, they would spend more on customer support because it would be a point of contention, but since they have no competition, they just let bots handle everything and they completely ignore their customers who have no choice but to continue to use their products. This is a form or monopolistic behavior that needs to be addressed by regulations.

Monopolies should be forced to spend money on real humans or some form of effective customer support, with a regulated SLA. It's the only way to keep these companies in check once they have completely starved any form of competition away from them.
